Deactivated Glocks?

I was curious where I would even begin to source a deactivated glock pistol for my collection, I made a post on GP about it but so far no hits. Not sure if this is a unicorn hunt or not.
 
Landsborough Auction, Item 192.
Contact Landsborough and find out if they can arrange for deactivation if you were to buy it.
Or if it could be transferred to a gunsmithing business for deactivation.
 
The issue here is indeed deactivation not sourcing. A glock can be imported. It just can't be transferred to you live.

Looking over the deactivation guidelines I'm not sure they will cover a glock as they are so it would come down to a discussion with the lab, coming to a mutually agreed method and then it would need to be submitted to them for inspection. Lengthy process. Unless I'm missing something of course.

Glocks are not milsurp.

Dont think you arw able to deactivate legally a Glock. Welding plastic to metal doesn't work.

Why not get yourself a high quality Airsoft?

well I've seen rifles with mostly plastic furniture that have been deactivated, and it just wouldn't be the same IMO, a fake one wouldn't fit well in the collection.

thank you for your input, I assume importing and then deactivation would be quite costly. I was mostly interested in finding one that has already had the work done on it.

From what I've seen deactivated guns are always more expensive than live. And the price of live glocks already in Canada has stayed pretty high even though they are being sold for parts without the frame...

Plastic furniture is quite different than poylmer frame. How would you tell? I had Glock endorced Airsoft. Couldn't tell it apart from a real one.

It not like you be able to #### and click a deactivated pistol.

I Was just saying I've seen plastic framed guns deactivated, and I guess I want it for the cool factor.

But UK regs for deactivation are different than here. Here you are required to weld the frame to the slide.

https://www.canada.ca/en/public-safety-canada/asfcp-pilot/deactivation-form-individuals.html

Where applicable, the receiver/frame must be welded closed to prevent replacement of the breech bolt. In the case of handguns, the slide must be welded to the receiver/frame of the handgun in the closed position

So check out my dewalt Glock with melted plastic. Vs airsoft and no welds

Idk how they'd even try to dewat a Glock? Weld the barrel shut? Klickity, klick, swap out the barrel. Weld the barrel to the slide? Flippity, flip, new slide and barrel and a functional firearm. I don't think it can be done.

That would be up to the lab. If it were me I'd propose filling the whole gun with epoxy so it's a solid block. But since it's not a standard deactivation they'd want to inspect even if they entertain the idea.

What's their position on cutaways now? Anyone know? Is that considered a deactivation or destruction? I'll ask directly at some point but maybe one of you knows?

What stopping you from pulling the frame rails and putting it into a 3D printed frame?

I don't think epoxy would be good enough for them. Nore a rod welded into the slide down the mag weld.
